Parameter Description

Multiplexer transparency mechanism

0

Basic option

Subparameters defined in GSM07.07 are adjusted for control and logical channels as follows

0

UIH frames used only (control channel)

Notes

• The write command is used to enter the multiplex mode. The setup of the logical channels is initiated by the

TE, i.e. the TE acts as initiator. This means that the TE shall ensure that logical channels are established
before any further actions on the channels can be started.

• There is a timeout of five seconds, if the multiplexer protocol is enabled and no multiplexer control channel is

established. The GSM engine returns to AT command mode.

• The parameter maximum frame size (N1) of

AT+CMUX

in GSM07.10 is fixed to 97 and cannot be changed.

All other parameters are not available.

4.8.1

Restrictions on Multiplex mode

When the serial interface ASC0 is in multiplex mode, data and fax calls can only be set up on logical channel 1.
Due to this restriction, AT commands have a different behavior on channels 2+3 compared to channel 1. Several
commands are not available, others return different responses. This chapter summarizes the concerned com-
mands. For general rules and restrictions to be considered in Multiplex mode please refer to
